LB log - 2017 Week 06

She's at a birthday party now. It will be strange to eat dinner before work and not have her be here.

I drove by the old home today. It's still serving its original function. Prokop's is a tax preparation place now. I didn't have much else to go on because I came up to it by an approach which wasn't how we came there years ago, so there's barely much of anything that I can remember, but it still seems like so much has been wiped out.

This week would have worked out pretty well for me to work a sixth day, but my body started to give direct signals that I needed to take a reprieve instead. Back tenderness, arm stiffness, shoulder stiffness, random finger stiffness - all these factors came to a head at various times on the last work day of the week and I had to submit to not push myself further. At the start of this work week I did bring along a lumbar support apparatus - really nothing more than a mesh net supported by some metal wiring - and set it up to be positioned at the shoulder area instead. This way I could recline my body backwards without it fully laying against the driving chair itself. For a long while I have sat upright without my upper back making contact with the seat for fear that I would be thrashed around too much, and I think this was a very dumb mistake. If the first work day of this week was any indication, I may be able to correct the issue after all.

Songs. I did come prepared to the arcade this time by bringing the larger bag which I used to bring and had some cardboard pieces and duct tape ready to go. Thankfully, I didn't have to resort to using any of it, as one half of the machine which is closer to the side opposite of the cabinet was totally shut off. That's a good compromise for me. For now. I was able to not squander the visit and summarily had two 12s cleared and did some other fail clean up. Home sessions were pretty strong this week. Yet again there are some plays which are much sloppier than what was previously on record, but thankfully there are other cases where the miss count is significantly reduced.
